Field emission as a tool for exploring new phenemena in nanomechanics

Over these past years our team has been pioneering an original orientation which is the use of field emission (FE) as a probe of mechanically resonating nanotubes (NTs), nanowires (NWs) and recently graphene. The resonators and electrical environment can be considered to be a nano-electro-mechanical system (NEMS). My goal here is to promote this subject better within the FE community whereas it has mostly been exposed within the NEMs community.
